labelangle

The angle (in degrees) in polar coordinates of the head & tail edge labels.

type: double, default: -25.0, minimum: -180.0

Determines, along with labeldistance, where the headlabel / taillabel are placed with respect to the head / tail in polar coordinates.

The origin in the coordinate system is the point where the edge touches the node. The ray of 0 degrees goes from the origin back along the edge, parallel to the edge at the origin.

The angle, in degrees, specifies the rotation from the 0 degree ray, with positive angles moving counterclockwise and negative angles moving clockwise.

Valid on:
  • Edges
